Cycle Sound drawigns

Cycle Sound

Cycle Sound is the project I've been working on the last couple of months.
It is all about a different understanding of the relationship between cycling as a social, economical and ecological choice of transportation method and music as an entertaining and mood setting device.
The outcomes of this relationship as an expressive feature of everyday life in contemporary western civilization are the object of this research project.

The drawing above is one of the sketches for the bike mod.

All the electronics I recently have been working on are means to an end. The intention has been to understand electronics and sound in order to build this piece.

The new delay

After finishing the Fuzz Factory clone guitar pedal, sourced by a French website, linked by Paul Marossy, I started working on two other guitar pedals: an Octavia (by Fuzz Central website) and a Delay (by Soldersound website). This last one is quite curious as he built a bunch of guitar pedals inside a very small enclosure (1590A for anyone who knows what I'm talking about!).

The Fuzz Factory clone ended up like this:




Two things:
1st. I called it Fuzz Funktory!
2nd. The knobs have no writen nomination! Maybe for the next one!!!
Other than this it's pretty screaming funkadelic.

As to the Octavia, it's working. However, I think something might have gone wrong as one of the potentiometers (the one that should increase or decrease the "octavia" amount) is not working!!! I'll still have to figure that out!!!
Anyways it is still outside the enclosure...

The last but not least, the Delay has just got itself the enclosure holes to fit the circuit inside (some to go still). Besides this, a delivery with the PT2399 IC should be arriving any day to complete the circuit. Let's just hope it works properly!!!
This is how it looks so far:



Hope you enjoy the sounds being worked behind the scenes to be played with these mambo-jambo's!

Milan 0 - 1 Tottenham

This was the first game I drew from this series.
Two matches were supposed to be drawn, however due to discrepancies in the champions league website I started 1h later, so only one half was drawn.
For these games I am going to draw only half time of each as they are playing at the same time.
This is the result of today's game!

Fuzz Funktory trial

All problems have made me remake the pedal on a breadboard...
This is what it sounds and looks!

I really need to add that nothing would have been possible without the help of Paul Marossy!
He was simply THE BEST!!!
Thanks Paul!

The not working pedal!

Following Football

This is the first set of experiences towards bigger drawings of the champions league final stage games.

One resistor away!

Everything e coming together!
And I'm growing ansious...

Update

A few parts are still missing. Apart from the pots, the sockets and the switch this is basically it! I have all these they just ain't connected here. The parts missing are one transistor and a resistor.
